VIBRO COMPACTION
2 / w w w.oms v ibro .de Stone Col umn Equipment
OMS Pile Driving Equipment GmbH. provides a large selection of soil improvement equipment such as “vibro compaction”, “vibro replacement” and “vertical drain” depending on the project requirements.
Ground engineering plays an increasingly important role in social and industrial development, especially in connection with major construction projects such as power stations or the expansion of infrastructure systems (railways, harbours, airports etc.). The objectives of deep vibro compaction and vibro replacement are to improve the strength and deformation characteristics of granular soils to a certain degree, so that structures can be supported safely and economically on or below the improved ground surface.
Vibro compaction and vibro replacement can be another option as technical methods which is used for unfavourable soil conditions that provide a transition between deep foundation and soil stabilisation. These methods increase the strength of the weak layer and utilises the benefit of the improved resistance.
At this point, the OMS provides the right soil improvement equipment as a solution for its customers. The vibro compaction and vibro replacement (stone columns) combined with vertical drain (wick drain) equipment of OMS plays a crucial role in the market from Germany to Middle East, South East Asia and America Lands.
SOIL IMPROVEMENT METHODS USING WITH OMS VIBROFLOTS
Vibro compaction method is mostly used in fine granular soils that are in seismic risk and thus, the method itself is suitable for land reclamation projects to mitigate the risk of liquefaction. This technique is for densifying sand-like soils on site by means of an OMS Vibroflotation probe. With the simultaneous vibration and saturation impact, loose sand particles are repacked into a more compact state and lateral confining pressure within the sand mass is increased.
Vibro compaction technique is most suitable for medium to coarse-grained sand with a silt content. Cohesive soils consisting of silt and clay material does not respond to vibratory compaction. The following illustration explains the operation:

TANDEM FREE HANGING
SINGLE FREE HANGING
The tandem vibro compaction configuration comprises of two vibroflotation probes suspending from the same crane.
The single free hanging vibroflotation probe consists of the same interchangeable parts as the tandem set.

Tandem Free HangingThe tandem vibro compaction configuration is consisting of two vibroflotation probes suspending from same crane. It is mostly preferred in land reclamation projects up to 20 - 25 m depth. The quality of compaction/stone column can be monitored with a data logger supplied by OMS. Hence, the depth, compaction rate, time related compaction and withdrawals as well as gravel volume can be measured and monitored.

Single Free HangingThe single free hanging vibroflotation probe comprises of the same interchangeable parts as the tandem set. The depth of compaction or stone column can be deeper, therefore projects that are medium to small scale are suitable for to be executed with single free hanging system. Compared to tandem system, crane capacity of the vibroflotation probe is slightly smaller. On the other hand, just like tandem system, the quality of compaction/stone column can be monitored with a “data logger” so that, depth, compaction rate, time related compaction and withdrawals as well as gravel volume can be measured and monitored.

VIBRO REPLACEMENT(Bottom Feed System)
Vibro replacement stone column is a soil improvement system by which vertical columns of compacted gravel are placed into soil. This is a technique that builds load-bearing columns made out of gravel or crushed stones in cohesive soil and granular soil with high fines content.Vibro replacement stone columns have been used to improve a wide range of soil from very soft clays and peat to materials marginally suitable for the vibro compaction method. The equipment used for the vibro replacement method is (other than for the vibro displacement method) identical to the one used in the vibro compaction method.
For the operation of vibro replacement columns (stone/gravel columns) “the bottom feed” process which feeds gravel to the end of the vibroflotation probe with the aid of pressurised air. For the optimum performance of this process, OMS has developed the vibroflotation probe and gravel hooper with pressure chamber. This OMS vibroflotation probes can be mounted on a existing drill rig or leader, crane or an excavator.

The OMS vibroflotation probe (bottom feed system) with gravel hooper can be easily mounted on existing drill rig or a leader with a supervisor from OMS technical team. This particular configuration is advantageous since the drill rig or leader equipped with a pull-down system, thus, allows additional pull-down pressure to be exerted during penetration and compaction.
